    Street tacos
    Justin J.

    Stopped in here today with the kids. A 15 minute wait but that's normal for Summerville on a Friday night. I had street tacos which were well filled and tasted fine. My daughter had chimichangas and my son had a quesadilla. Price was pretty standard, food came out fast, and service was friendly. Nothing really jumped off the page as mind bendingly amazing or different from other Mexican restaurants in the area, but it was good food with generous portions at a fair price. J.Ja

    Molcajete

    We ate at the cantina near the corner of Dorchester and Ladson Road. Had the molcajete, which is enough food for 2 or more, ate half and took the other half home. It comes with two sides of rice and two sides of beans and choice of tortillas. The food was great as was the service. Would order the same again.

    I've been here twice. I love the chicken street tacos. They're delicious. We have had great service both times as well. On our second visit, my husband had a hair in his food so he was not happy. The outside seating is really nice. I especially love sitting by the fountain. Great addition to the Summerville/Ladson area.

    Everything was incredible! From the decor to the service to the food! Such a fun vibe when you enter with all the welcoming agave plants out front and a fountain to boot. The servers are attentive and efficient. The margarita was deliciously hand-crafted. The chips were warm & not over-salted. The ingredients tasted fresh. The steak came out sizzling and was yummy!

    My new favorite Mexican restaurant! Agaves Cantina opened not long ago, and it's hitting the restaurant scene with a Bang! Great open floor plan with plenty of seating inside and out. It has a well appointed bar with seating inside and out. The outdoor space has a beautiful fountain, a place for a band and many options for seating. We were immediately greeted by the hostess who was very friendly and professional. The menu had many selections including vegetarian. The cocktail menu has a great variety of drinks, beer and wine. Complimentary chips and salsa were provided upon seating. I got a griiled fish taco topped with a Chipotle crema, and I got the portobello taco as well. The portobella mushrooms were grilled which added a really nice smoky flavor. Both tacos were yummy! My husband got the shrimp salad and a grilled fish taco. His salad was huge with plenty of grilled large shrimp. Our server was very nice and attentive. The restaurant atmosphere was relaxed with a rustic flair. We are definitely coming back. And if the weather is nice, we'll sit out in the patio area.

    Had a great dinner at Agaves Cantina! Service was spot on and the food was fantastic! I had a Shrimp Salad and was so impressed by the size and amount of shrimp on the salad. They do not skimp and we loved it! The seating was nice and spread out so you can relax and not feel like you're up in your neighbors table. It was really a treat to finally find a place that had nonalcoholic beer selections as everyone doesn't drink! They even had a selection for vegetarians, something you don't often see. When it warms up some we're going to enjoy the ample outdoor seating and bar. We will definitely be checking this place out again.!!!

    This place is awesome! The food was really really good and you get very large portions. I also really appreciated the staff - everyone was super kind and accommodating. Also, it's a really beautiful venue. There's an area where kids can get out their wiggles while you're waiting for food, there's a beautiful fountain and there's even a small garden area. I cannot give this place a higher recommendation. It was wonderful.

    ‼Do not eat here ‼ I don't usually write a review unless it's really bad !!! Or really good Believe me this was bad. The meat is pre-cooked and when you place an order, it simply warmed up and serve to you. I order chicken taco and steak tacos, and the steak was so dry that it was literally crispy, no flavor no sauce was served with it, just sprinkle of onion and cilantro . My husband ordered , carne asada but it was so thin and dry same meat is not seasoned or have any flavour, you can tell someone is miserable cooking there . My husband said he never eat anything worse in his life Then he added, honey. Why are you punishing me? I said what do you mean , suggesting to go out for dinner tonight that was the worst.you can make better tacos than this. we laughed we were hungry and ate it most of it then definitely regretted. Anyway this will be the last time I ever chose Mexican food for dinner! Maybe there are better places than this but save yourself a heartburn and disappointment choose something different!

    Agaves cantina Spicy cucumber margarita unusual and very tasty. Dos xx negros draft Warm tortilla chips and not spicy watery salsa Monika server useless doesn't know the menu and can't offer any suggestions after 3 months of serving Gave the wrong side and got tons of attitude said I should have told her different even after I told the manager. Carlos manager nice guy very helpful knowledgeable and helpful Very nicely set up indoors and outside decorated with Mexican music Ceviche shrimp Outstanding. Chopped shrimp, avocado cucumbers tomatoes cilantro lime. Appetizer that is a meal in itself. chile Colorado steak and spicy sauce Beef thinly sliced in a moderate spicy sauce. 4 out of ten for heat but 8 out of ten for flavor. Very tasty. But I ordered different sides. Spicy sauce was excellent. Carlos the manager brought out the side. Very cheat able. More of a keto meal but well worth the money and effort. A definite easy carnivore with simple carb sides choice. Plenty for carnivore eater to cheat with. If you want to cheat this is the place to do it.

    This is a great addition to my local neighborhood spots. Plenty of seating outside and a large bar with four large flatscreen TVs for sports.. great service here as well. Decent drinks, but as far as the food, it's nothing special, southern Mexican type/Central American fare. Not a whole lot of flavor with the meats and the carne asada was dry and overcooked. However, the chips and salsa are decent, as well as the guacamole.

    Excited about another choice of Mexican cuisine on this side of town. Large restaurant, awesome outside area. Very pleasing to the eyes. Great decor. Large bar with inside and outside seating. Our server was extra attentive. Food and drinks came quickly. Will definitely be back.

    Pick two combo with refried beans and rice
    Chrissy F.

    Service was great being attentive, quick, and friendly to which our gentleman brought plenty of chips and salsa to enjoy. Happy hour is from 4-6 to which there's $5 house wines, liquor, $1 off classic margaritas. Tried the mango grande on ice, did not taste the tequila at all but at least it was refreshing. My friends all enjoyed their meals plus took some to-go for family members. Interior is wonderfully decorated and the outdoor seating is a'plenty! The bar has TVs so folks can watch games/sports. I got the pick-2 combo of enchilada and burrito. The refried beans and rice were my favorite! Next time I'll ask for more spice with hot sauce to kick it up a notch for flavor.

    Heard about this place and wanted to check it out ! It was jammed pack you could barely find a park . There was a bit of a wait so we opted to sit at the bar to have a drink. The drinks are definitely strong for frozen margaritas which we loved !! The queso is really good as well. We did glance at the menu and the prices were pretty average ! Also happy hour is everyday from 4-7!! It's decorated nicely outside and inside with your typical Mexican flare. It's lots of room both inside and outside but on a Saturday night probably choose elsewhere cause it's super busy.

Got 3 pastor street tacos and they were huge, loaded with delicious, flavorful meat, and so irresistible I ate all 3 and didn't take a picture! The free chips were thin and crisp, the salsa was super-fresh and not spicy. The housemade hot sauce is thick, loaded with spicy smoked chiles and will hurt you in the best way. I got free cheese dip and it is the best anywhere! Not gloppy, powerful cheese flavor- Monterey Jack? The banderita burrito got rave reviews, and I haven't had my chile poblano yet because I filled up on chips, but it looks amazing! I will consider leaving the house to dine in someday because I know it's even better on-site, and they're definitely in my Ubereats favorites.

It was a good portion size as I wasn't that hungry after all those chips & dips! We will definitely be back for more ;)

    Hey there, it's been a while so I thought I'd post my lunch today…read more I'm not even sure if this is the right location, but I'm at Agaves Cantina on 17A where the old Sol used to be. Greeted with a smile and sat immediately. The infamous chips and salsa placed on the table. Did I mention I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I'm 45 minutes early??? FORTY FIVE MINUTES!! Which only means I'll eat all the table chips and salsa while deciding what to have for lunch..the menu looks great! I mean, who doesn't like Mexican food..even after spending the whole month of February going between Cozumel and Costa Maya...I will never get tired of Mexican food.. of course I ordered a Dos Equis with a lime..it's soooo good!!

Tiki Taco is about really good Mexican food, and nothing else. And, when I say "nothing else", I mean that they do not have a proper building to dine in per se. They have something like a large garden gazebo or something that has high-top mismatched tables and chairs. The structure you're eating in is open air - it doesn't have windows, and the walls are only half walls. In the winter they put plastic over the open parts to try to keep the wind out. This place gets five stars anyway. The food is that good. In fact, it's so good, that if rating on just food quality alone, this is my favorite restaurant in Summerville. I've had nearly everything on the menu at Tiki Taco, and I've loved every bite of it. It's fantastic. I'm not such an authority that I can tell you how authentic it is, or that they do this really crucial thing that only "real" Mexican chefs know how to do. I'm just saying it's among the best Mexican food I've ever had.
